New York was considered to be an unusual colony because 3 countries tried to claim it at the same time. These countries included England, Spain, and France.
The Falkland Islands became a colony of Great Britain in 1765 when British naval captain John Byron claimed the islands for Britain. Although Spain also laid claim to the islands, Britain established a settlement there, which was later abandoned in 1770 due to tensions with Spain. In 1833, Britain reasserted control over the islands, expelling the Argentine garrison that had occupied them, and formally established the Falkland Islands as a British colony. This event solidified British sovereignty, which has been a point of contention with Argentina ever since.
